OK…Did you recognize this house??
Does THIS help?
Or maybe THIS? (Scowls are another clue…we’re NOT actually angry. And Hubby’s 5 o’clock shadow really makes him look like a criminal…but he’s really harmless!)
The black object in our picture is another clue as to our reason for a twelve hour road trip. (We didn’t have a rake with us in the convertible, so we pulled it out for a photo at the mystery house.)
OK…Enough clues…
It’s the American Gothic House in Eldon, Iowa, made famous by Iowa artist Grant Wood.

When I realized that our road trip passed within a few miles of this iconic American treasure, we just HAD to stop. It was very late in the day on Friday…beginning to get dark…and we were the only people within eyesight. (Really COOL!) So we quickly snapped several pictures in between raindrops.
And I PROMISE I will solve the mystery of the REAL reason for our road trip…in my NEXT blog post!
